Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers of mobile home parks subject to § 48-12 generally ensure that any proposed or existing park site meets all enumerated physical criteria before development proceeds. This includes confirming that the parcel is at least 10 acres with at least 200 feet of frontage, that grading and drainage prevent standing water, that brush and dense vegetation are cleared, and that no portion of the development falls within the 100-year flood zone as mapped on HUD Map H-01-09. Maintaining documentation of site surveys, drainage plans, and flood-zone determinations is a common practice for demonstrating ongoing compliance with ch. 48 § 48-12.
